A ride In the East

Coffin's entertainment !!!

Coffin,
There is a 24hr. slots casino and the Pink Pony gentleman's club between Charleston,WV and Hurrican,WV right off WV SR 64 (64 west out of Charleston.
I seen the airport signs on my way to the family reunion in Charleston. No problem picking you up if need be !

*** FINAL HEADCOUNT ***

Please chime in and confirm you are in for the ride as it is only 10 days until the big ride ! Here is what I have so far;

myself
Rob (oneloudskunk)
Earl (eman369)
Bruce
James
Chuck, maybe ?
Mark, maybe ?
Jerry + one
Jason (Schwim) and his brother
Steve Williams (volvonut) + one, maybe ?
Luke (Parsko) + one
Bob, maybe ?
Josh (Jedi) + 5

so, looks like at least 13 riders, maybe as many as 22 ?

Berger=Very slim possibility. All the planets must align and all must be right in the cosmos. I will know by Thursday.

berger, that would be awesome!!! I am going to go outside right now, and do some crazy star aligning dance for you. Would love to meet you!!!

Okay, just talked to BP219. Got prices of the lodging, and put together a rough cost for this trip, in case anyone needs to know...

When calculating, I did not consider travel expenses and food during travel, as this will be different for everyone, so you can figure in these numbers yourself. My calculations start when we get to the Hotel thursday, and leave the trailhouse Sunday Morning.

Also, the Trailhouse sleeps 11 tight, the cabin sleeps 6 tight, for a total of 17. I ran my numbers based on around 15 people showing up. The total people showing are, at the smallest 13, largest 22. So, we will need to know, so Rob can bring the camper to accomodate the remainder.

Botton line cost, about $180/person. This does not include beer, t-shirts, parts, post cards, tampons, etc...

Trailhouse - $135/night
Cabin - $70/night for 2 people, $5/extra person, so $90/night.
Super 8 (thursday night)- $80/night 5 dudes/room, $70/night 4 dudes
Gas for bike - $25/the weekend
Riding Permit - $37.10/4 days
Food - $35/day

Okay:
Lodging adds up to around $716 total for everyone. $716/15 dudes is around $48/person.

$48 lodging
$37 permit
$25 gas
$70 food
--------------
$180 total

I say we go out Friday night for dinner. Saturday we could to the shrimp on the barby deal at the trailhouse, save some loot, hang out, drink beers, eat some chili (someone has to fill in for Bobzilla!)

The more people, potentially the more cost cause of an extra room at the hotel. I certainly think we should be democratic about it and split the cost per person. I don't care where I sleep, if it becomes an issue, I'll sleep in a tent, I just don't want to get eaten by bears!

Hope this gives ya'll a better idea. Adjust numbers accordingly.

-Parsko

having trouble understanding which is best trailhouse. any suggestions???

other then that we are good to go!

We've always stayed at Browning Fork Trailhouse.

Parsko,
As far as your star alignment dance for Berger, put your clothes back on and get in the house before you get arrested !
And don't worry about the bears, it's the locals you should worry about !

yeah but BP said that they're full up, so that doesn't help him any.

Josh, I've never been, so I can't tell you what's the best, but have you checked out the lodging page at http://www.trailsheaven.com ? They've got quite an extensive list.

[EDIT]got off of my lazy butt and found the exact link for the lodging on the site.[/EDIT]

thanks,

Jedi...lodging.

Jedi,
As far as places to stay, that is why myself, Skunk, and Parsko are trying to get a final headcount. The whole idea is for all of us to be in one place if possible to maximize riding together and bench racing, as well as helping each other out, etc.
If you need a place to stay for Thursday night, that's why I took the time to call Super 8 a few days ago and they had 5 rooms left for that night, the phone # is listed in a recent prior post.
As far as the trailhouse/cabin, as stated in a prior post, we can sleep a total of 17. If we have more persons than that, then that is why we need to know if Skunk needs to bring his camper. The idea is part of the Ohio crew will use the camper.
I just got off the phone with Marty from Browning Fork Trailhouse, the cabin and trailhouse #2 are still ours. Trailhouses #1 and #3 are booked, he will call me if there is a cancellation.
Jedi, if you and your group don't want to stay with that many folks, that's OK and understandable, you won't hurt our feelings . If you need me to, I can call Marty and find out which would be the best place to stay in close proxsimity.

LODGING FOR ALL !

The cabin and the trailhouse we already have booked will sleep a max of 17 people. If we need the pop-up camper a total of 21.
It looks like we have enough room for eveyone who is planing on coming. Is that OK with everyone ?

If you need a place to stay for Thursday night call the Super 8 in Logan, WV, the phone # is in an earlier recent post.

Has anyone noticed how many people have viewed this post! If it goes well I imagine next year should be HUGE!

Rob

Just got off the phone with the Super 8 in Logan,WV and Browning Fork Trailhouse in Gilbert,WV.

Super 8 rooms are $59.00 + tax. As of right now (July 26th @ 2:45 pm est.) they have three rooms left.

The cabin at Browning Fork is $60 a night for two people and $5 extra per head for more than two people + tax.

Trailhouse #2 is $100 a night (for Fri.'s & Sat.'s) and $5 extra per head + tax.

Brian,

I'm not sure what Jedhi has figured out. I know that he was playing phone tag with a couple of the places where he was trying to get accomodations. I can't get through to him right now. I think I might call the Super 8 and book an extra room just to be safe. I am going to try to call you today. My cell number is 506-650-5555

I just called the Super 8 and booked the last 2 rooms for Thursday night just in we need them. They said we can cancel them if necessary right up to 4pm on Thursday :wink:

AWESOME!!!

Way to be lookin' out Coffin. Did you talk to BP? Ever get a line on that address? I tend to like to do most of the driving so I was just wondering where I should be headed. Everyone else may be asleep, or pre-occupied with our SUPAFLY DVD system in the van.<---joke

Rob

I will know something next thursday. I know a last second deal and have some loose ends needing taken care of first. With luck might know before then just to ify right now to be positive. I will post when I know more.

I'm in. Just got my plane tickets and rental car. I dont have a place to stay yet. I will be flying into Charleston Thursday afternoon. I may be able to hook up with Coffin and give him a ride.

Berger,
That's great news ! You will be staying with us Thurs. night at the Super 8 and Fri./Sat. nights at Browning Fork Trailhouse with all of us and everyone else.
What about a bike, what will you be riding ?
